Isang maleta ang damit na dinala ko, may ilang paper bags din na napuno at itong box ng wine na yakap yakap ko ngayon. Mas inuna ko itong dinala kaysa sa mga damit ko. Nakasalubong agad sa akin si Manang. Kunot ang noong nakatingin sa kahon na dala ko. Base sa reaksyon niya mukhang alam niyang brand ng alak ang nakasulat.
Sabi niya sa siguro sa isip niya, maglalasing nanaman ang babaitang ito. Natawa ako doon. Hinintay ko siyang magkomento pero wala akong narinig mula sa kaniya. Tinulungan nila ako sa pagbubuhat ng iba pang gamit.
May napansin akong iba, mula noong napasukan ng magnanakaw ang bahay, mula kahapon ay wala akong nakikitang ibang maids kundi si manang at ang dalawa pang mukhang mas bata. Hindi ko alam kung anong edad nila, pero parang kaedaran ko? O mas bata pa sa akin? Ang ilang maids na dati ay nakikita ko hindi ko pa nakita mula kahapon.
Baka naman nakaday off lang? O sa laki ng bahay ay hindi ko lang sila nak

"Did you check your things Artia? Naibalik ba lahat ng gamit mo?" Tumango ako bago sumubo ng steak. We are now having dinner. May paguusapan daw. Dumating na kanina ang mga gamit na kinuha ng mga magnanakaw. Dapat ay naibalik na pala sa mismong gabing iyon pero sinigurado muna nina Conrad na kumpleto ang lahat kaya dinala pa iyon sa pulis."Where were you when the robbers get in?" Napatigil ako sa pagnguya sa tanong ni mama. Nanlaki ng kaunti ang mata ko. Napansin ko rin ang pagtigil sa pagkain ni Kingsley. Nagtama ang mga mata namin."Uhm..." hindi kaagad ako nakaisip ng palusot. Hindi pa nga ako nakakasagot may next question na agad."And you were only in your bathrobe. Naliligo ka noong dumating ang mga magnanakaw?"Umiling ako. Mas inunang sagutin iyon."Kakatapos ko lang maligo. Nagpapatuyo ako ng buhok nang marinig kong may nabasag. Nakita ko po sila sa second floor kaya..." what I did next is went inside

Artia's POV"When will be the wedding?" I asked, trying not to sound unhappy.She licked her lips. Is she tensed with my question? Bakit parang kinabahan siya na hindi komportable at may kung ano pang hindi ko mahinuha sa reaksyon ni mama."Well," she said hanging, licked her lips again."We haven't set a specific date yet.""Pero kailan niyo po gusto?" tanong ko kaagad wala pang dalawang segundo matapos siyang magsalita."Sa lalong madaling panahon sana, iha." napataas ako ng kilay nang si Conrad ang sumagot sa tanong ko. Binaling ko sa kaniya ang tingin ko."Pero pareho kaming busy ng mama mo sa ating mga negosyo, kaya... medyo matatagalan pa. And we want it to be perfect, kaya paghahandaan namin ng husto ang kasal."I just flashed my half smile. They want it to be perfect? Let's see if matutuloy nga ba ang kasal niyo."I'm done eating. Aakyat na po ako sa kwarto ko. I need to fix lot of things in my

Artia's POV Ipapagamit mo ang katawan mo para mapigilan ang kasal? Talaga, Artia? Kaya ko naman siguro. Magagawa ko. Kung yoon lang ang tanging paraan para hindi maikasal si mama sa iba, gagawin ko. "Your Mama is my Queen, and you are my princess. No one can take you two away from me. Hindi ko hahayaang mawala kayo sa akin." Don't worry, Dad. Hindi ko hahayaang mawala sayo si Mama. You are only her King, will always be. And I will keep my place too as her princess. We don't need a prince in our family. I don't need another father. Yang Conrad na 'yan? Malay ko bang umaarte lang siya ng mabait? Baka pagkatapos ng kasal e magbago na ang ugali. Baka may tinatagong sungay. Ewan ko ba kung paano sila nagkakilala ni mama. I never heard of him before, or did I? Ever since Dad passed away some of my memories from my childhood and teenage years became a blur. Tanging mga memories ko with Dad ang malinaw sa isipan ko. Many told me to f

Artia's POV "It's past midnight and you disturbed me on my sleep. Just for that? I'm tired, from cleaning my room half of the day. Don't give me that damn attitude, Artia." I was frozen in my place. He look so mad. "If you want to drown yourself with alcohol, go bring your own wine. And make sure you buy enough that will satisfy your self!" What he said lastly made me felt dumbfounded. "You never fail to disappoint me." He said coldly and quickly left my room. Natulala ako ng ilang sandali. Hindi makapaniwala sa narinig. I never fail to disappoint him? I laughed bitterly. "Tsk!" I hissed and flop myself on the bed. I smirked foolishly with eyes closed and arms spread open. Letting my body be swallowed by the bed. "I heard that before." I whispered. Pieces of needles prick my heart. My eyes felt hot. Mabilis kong inangat ang katawan paalis sa kama bago pa lumala ang n

Artia's POV"Hi!" I said nicely and smiled at him brightly.He just glance at me and walked pass by me. I followed him in front of his door room. He glance at me one time with a cold stare. Probably wondering or annoyed why I'm acting like this."Sorry kagabe," mahinang sambit ko. Yumuko at nakatago ang mga kamay sa likod. Napansin kong lumingon siya pero tuluyan parin pumasok sa kaniyang kwarto."Don't say sorry if you don't mean it."Agad na bumuka ang bibig ko para magsalita."Sincere naman ako, ah? Sorry talaga sa nagawa ko kagabi. I was drunk hindi ko alam ang ginagawa. Sorry na kung naistorbo kita sa tulog mo. Sorry na." I said sincerely.Hindi na siya nagsalita. Tinitigan lang ako ng ilang sandali tapos ay bigla nalang sinatado ang kaniyang pinto. Ngumuso ako.Mula ngayon ay mag-iingat na ako. Dapat ay hindi ko siya mainis para hindi siya lumamig sa'kin. Para hindi niya ako

Artia's POV"What?" He asked confused."Do you want me to be your sister?" I repeat as I take a step forward towards him. Nasa gitnang bahagi siya, ako naman ay malapit sa kabilang pinto, ang pintuan konektado sa kwarto niya. Hindi siya nagbitaw ng tingin sa akin hanggang sa tumigil ako sa harapan niya. Isang hakbang lang ang pagitan. Nakatingala ako sa kaniya dahil sa tangkad niya. Bahagya niya nga siyang nakabukot pero sobrang tangkad parin.I looked at his eyes intently. Look at me Kingsley. Look in my eyes."Soon our parents will get married. And that makes us, a family. You'll be my stepbrother, I'll be your stepsister. Are you okay with that?" I said slow and stop for a moment after saying every sentences.He furrowed. Staring deeply into my eyes. Like he's trying to read my mind."Why do you wanna know?" He asked emotionless.Pinigilan kong kabahan at panghinaan ng loob. Nilakasan ko ang loob ko at

Artia's POV"H-huh?" Nauutal kong sagot. Yoon lang nga ang sinabi ko nautal pa. Kunwari ay wala akong ideya sa sinasabi niya.Sh*t! Hindi siya naniwala?! Akala ko pa naman napaniwala ko na siya. Pero hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. Baka may magagawa pa ako para mapaniwala siya. I should continue my acting and do better."Hindi kita maintindihan." Madrama kong sabi. Bakas sa tono ko ang lungkot, pagkalito at kaba. Ang totoo ko lang nararamdaman sa mga sumusunod na iyon ay ang kaba."You went in my room, asked me to open this door for you because you said you lost your earring here and now you're gonna tell me that?"Napalunok ako ng laway. Mali yata ang pamamaraan ko. Mali yata na ginawa kong rason ang paghahanap sa hikaw at mali yata na dinala ko pa siya dito. Dapat ba umamin na ako ng direkta kanina nang nasa kwarto palang niya kami? Para hindi ganito na nanghihinala siya. Mali pala hindi siya nanghihinala hindi

Artia's POVHindi ako nakatulog kaagad. Iniisip ko si Kingsley. Napatawag pa nga ako kay Rom, tinanong siya kung nakita niya ba siya sa bar pero hindi niya rin daw nakita doon si Kingsley. Iniisip ko tuloy na baka nga wala siya doon, na hindi naman talaga pumunta pero may nakakita sa amin ni Rom na kakilala niya at sinabihan siya.Pero bakit naman siya babalitaan tungkol sa akin? Nag-utos ba siya na mag-update sila sa kaniya tungkol sa mga ginagawa ko? Wala naman kasing nakakaalam sa sitwasyon namin. Wala pang maraming nakakaalam na ikakasal ang mga magulang namin, so that makes it obvious na wala pa ding nakakaalam na magiging magkapatid na kami. So no one would make an effort to report to him what I am doing since no one thinks were acquainted.Nandoon ba talaga siya? O pinapasundan niya ako at doon siya kumakalap ng impormasyon? Bakit niya naman gagawin iyon? Ako lang naman itong aligagang makakuha ng impormasyon tungkol sa kanila kasi

-----fast forward----- ***Artia's POV*** "How about you two? Hindi niyo pa ba naiisipang magpakasal? You're on your right age naman. Maaari na kayong magpakasal." "Honestly, I've thought about that. Matagal na kayong magkasintahan, alam kong mauuwi kayong dalawa sa kasalan. Why don't you start planning about it?" Keep remembering it Artia. Keep thinking about it. About their conversation earlier on your dinner. Hindi kapa ba natatauhan? Even your mother and his father are pushing the two to get married. Hindi pa ba sampal sa iyo iyon? You should stop now, before you drown yourself you might not be able to save yourself. Nalulunod kana sa sarili mong patibong. Your great f*cking plan won't work. Ang tagal tagal na pero wala pang improvement ang plan mo. Ang sarili molang ang sinasaktan mo at isinusugal dito. Don't you think its time to back out? Now is the time to change your mind. Wake up, Artia! None of your plan will
Sultry Scheme Chapter 89
Artia's POV Kinabahan ako, akala ko may nagwawala na. Akala ko sinadya ni KIngsley na basagin ang mga bote dahil sa ginagawa namin ni Iulian. But why would he do that? Mukhang wala naman silang pake kahit pa magsex kami dito ni Iulian. Sila nga naghahalikan din kanina. The wine from the broken bottle is spilled on the floor and flow down to the water pool. Some broken glasses fell down in the pool also. What happened became clear to me when I saw a cat near the bottles. Mukhang tumalon ito at iyon ang mga natamaan. Kingsley doesn't own a cat. Kanino kaya ang orange na pusang ito at bakit nandito? THe cat looked like the famous cat in the movie. I forgot the cats name. Mahihirapan akong alalahanin iyon lalo na't lasing. My eyes glance at the two. Courtney slightly in panic moving away from the pool. And then Kingsley, eyes blanked looking at us. When our eyes met he immediately looked away, turned around and left the pool too. I blinked

***Artia's POV*** I couldn't fall asleep why I decided to take a bath. After taking a bath I just wore a thin silk of dress and sat on the floor facing the mirror and resting my back against the table placed in the middle of my walk in closet. I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. From my face, to my body and back to my face. My lips trembled, and my eyes started to sting. I have the face. I have the body. But I have no one. Unlike Courtney, she have friends, she have Iulian and Kingsley beside her for years. She have Kingsley who's loving her. I bit my lips hoping I could stop it from trembling. Now I know the answer to my questions earlier. The kiss I shared with Iulian felt empty. I've kissed many guys, and the truth, it all felt empty. Ako lang itong naglalagay ng meaning at emosyon doon. Sa paraang iyon, nababawasan ang kalungkutang nararamdaman ko. Something really changed, because now I know and have realized that all those

***Artia's POV***Our lips touched and dance together. Just like the music being played, it was slow at first but then coped up with a steady pace. His lips are tender and warm just like Kingsley's lips but it didn't made the butterflies in my stomach fly. I was the one who cut the kiss.I stared at his lips, didn't want to stare at his eyes so he wouldn't see I was distracted while we are kissing. I'm confuse. Why do I feel like something is missing? Why didn't it felt good? Its not because he's not a good kisser, but I didn't enjoyed like how I enjoyed the kisses of Kingsley.Isinantabi ko muna ang mga katanungan na iyon. I should say something. Iulian might get offended with my reaction."Walang magagalit?" I tried to joke. I felt relieved when he chuckled."Sayo? Walang magagalit?" tanong niya pabalik may ngisi sa labi. Umiling ako at itinago ang pasimpling paglunok ng laway.I hope meron. Sana may magalit at sana ay si Kingsley iy

***THIRD P POV***"I feel better with you, next to me."It's strange, how he can remember the words she said. Kingsley looked away and turned his attention to his girlfriend. He didn't want to start a conversation with Artia now that Courtney, Iulian and their other friends are next to them.He just had an argument with his girlfriend, he doesn't want her to have another reason to argue with. Courtney might get jealous. Artia didn't talkedtoo since she really doesn't have anything to say. She stretch a small smile to Courtney, she smiled back but she know she's not really okay that she's here.She chitchat with Iulian and sometimes with the other guys whose name she can't remember. Well, she's not really interested, her mind is clouded with the couple next to her and the trauma Rom left to her.She's thirsty but she don't have the spirit to drink the glasses of alcohol served in front of her. She didn't voice it out. At kahit pa gustuhin man
Sultry Scheme Chapter 85
Kingsleys POV"Bukod sa gusto kitang kasama, wala na akong ibang kaibigan.""Look out for, Artia.""I lost everyone. My Dad's dead. I have no more friends."I closed my eyes tightly hoping I get to focus and stop remembering her voices and those words she said and what her mother said to me too. It keeps visting my mind. I can't stop thinking about it.[Why do you have to take her with you?] I looked out of the window for a second. I can feel her staring at me, listening to my conversation with Courtney on the phone."We already talked about this." No matter how much I lower my voice she can still hear me. I glance at her and her face says it. She's asking if we are arguing.[Yes, we talked about it but I want us to talk about it again. I thought it will just be for a while. Don't tell me she'll come with us sa lahat ng lakad natin.]"Mamaya natin ito pag-usapan."[Fine! Let's just meet there. Hin

Artia's POV "What?" He asked stern now back to being suplado. It was only for a short moment but it was gold for me. Him laughing together with me. Staring at my eyes not to others. Finally he laughed with me. I can't hide the smile formed in my lips. I shook my head and looked away, not wanting him to see that I was too happy just seeing him laughing with me. My heart still feels like its floating in the air above the clouds. Butterflies inside my stomach flying around. Giving the feeling that I haven't felt for years now. "Nothing." I answered. He noticed I was staring at him for a long time why he asked me what. I admit I stared at him so intently. It was too obvious. I should've been careful so he wouldn't get back to being stern so quickly. "I feel sorry to Iulian. I didn't know it tasted so salty. Ang dami niyang kinain," mahinang sambit ko habang nilalaro gamit ang kutsara ang sinangag na niluto ko. Buti nalang pala at hindi si Kingsl

Artia's POV "I just want to say sorry too, about what I said yesterday. No woman wants to be disrespected and molested. Sorry." Parang naisama ko sa paglunok ko ang dila ko dahil hindi ako nakapagsalita. Parang lalabas na din yata sa d****b ko ang puso ko sa lakas ng tibok nito. Dang! What is wrong with me? Bakit ganito makapagreact ang puso ko sa ginawa niya? When I recovered I smiled sweetly at him and said, "Babe, its okay." I bit my lips after talking. Dang! Baka magalit ulit sa akin dahil sa pagtawag ko sa kaniya ng babe. Hindi ko naman sinasadya! It just slip out of my tongue. "You're forgiven." I said my voice automatically turned husky. Our eyes wandered at each other for a while before he looked away and walked. Akala ko ay aalis na siya pero napangiti ulit nang makita siyang sumandal sa may bar counter. I giggled and open the fridge to look at the sandwhich he made for me. Ngiting-ngiti ako habang tinitignan iyon at
Sultry Scheme Chapter 82
Artia's POV "You two already kissed." Mula kanina ay hindi na ako tinantanan ng batang ito. She keeps on asking the same question over and over again everytime she sees me-- no she's following me. "Why are you so eager to know if we did kissed or not?" Gaya ngayon, sinusundan niya ako kahit saan ako magpunta. Kanina ay may kinausap kami ni Kingsley why we left her for a while. Pagkatapos doon ay naghiwalay kami ni Kingsley. I don't know where he went to and if he talked to someone but now I can see him and I'm walking towards his direction. "I heard the other girl is Kuya Kingsleys girlfriend. So if you two already kissed, maybe you seduced him to kiss you. Or you stole a kiss from him since you like him." Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at binalingan ang batang nakasunod sa likod ko. "I like him?" I asked. Parang sure na sure sa sinasabi niya. "Yeah. I can see it in the way you look at him
